Modern Painters: Sarah Cain

June 30, 2012 – 9:47 am

Sarah Cain in front of “In Loving Memory of Your Mind”

In Sarah Cain’s As You Continue to Walk Forward, her 2008 site-specific installation at the Orange County Museum of Art, fluorescent colors and patterns crawl up and dripped down walls, ceilings, and floors.  The geometric composition in Midnight Mission, from 2009, begins on a canvas and extends beyond its edge and onto the adjacent walls and floor.  In Santa Barbara 2, 2011, a deconstructed canvas reveals the architecture of its stretcher bars, an integral component of the work.  So, is Cain a painter, a sculptor, or an installation artist?  ”I’m a painters,” she says.  ”I think of it all as painting.  Great painting should expand what painting can be.”

Beyond the White Cube: Dawn Kasper’s Studio Within A Museum

Modern Painters: Review of Rosson Crow at Honor Fraser

May 1, 2012 – 4:28 pm

Los Angeles

Rosson Crow at Honor Fraser February 25 – March 31, 2012

For “Ballyhoo Hullabaloo Haboob”, her second solo show at the gallery, the artist takes a decisive step away from the exuberant and colorful historical interiors for which she is known.  The ten large works on view capture a somber and reflective mood.  By focusing on mid 20th-century American patriotism, bravado, social upheaval and economic turmoil, Crow draws from the past to comment on the present.  The forlorn and stormy landscapes in the sepia-hued Tobacco Road and The Desperate Years, both 2011, evoke the Great Depression.  The champagne-soaked Roaring Twenties of Fitzgerald led to a hangover of massive proportions, much like the country’s current straits.

Beyond the White Cube: Gustavo Godoy, sculptor and mixed-media artist.

September 27, 2011 – 9:35 am

When I recently discovered Gustavo Godoy’s work, I quickly added him to my ever-growing “must visit asap” list.  His manipulation of industrial materials is masterful and the concepts he addresses give his body of work incredible depth and nuance.  I’m looking forward to his solo show at Honor Fraser in April 2012.  His studio was amazing, my head practically spun around on my body trying to take it all in.
